EHS encountered a lab in MRDC that was particularly hazardous and required remediation. EHS utilized an outside company, HEPACO, to safely address the situation. On September 28, 2019 HEPACO's Emergency Response Team started working to address the hazardous conditions in the MRDC lab.

The flammable cabinet contained a secondary container with multiple broken bottles, unlabeled or with unreadable labeling, with visible multicolor crystal growth. Labels can become illegible or come off entirely due to age or chemical contamination.
